"they seem do is look for proof to strengthen their case instead of conducting an objective inquiry."

The objective inquiry began in 1896, after Arrhenius proposed that we would change the temperature by 1.5-5.0 degrees if we doubled CO2. Since then we've been collecting data on temperature, CO2, precipitation, solar activity, our orbit, the jet stream, ocean currents, etc.

The group was based in the same office as the Western Fuels Association, a consortium of coal suppliers and coal-fired utilities that Palmer also ran.

“Every time you turn your car on and you burn fossil fuels and you put CO2 into the air, you’re doing the work of the Lord,” Palmer told a Danish documentary team in 1997. “That’s the ecological system we live in.”

Like polio was an agenda, as well as vaccines.

Alzheimer's is an agenda.

Democracy? An agenda.

Civil rights for minorities? An agenda.

Ukraine support is an agenda too.

(The New Testament? The Truth.)
